Match preview
Will Manchester United bounce back from Sunday’s Manchester derby mauling in this, their first-ever match against Cypriot opposition?
At the weekend, the Red Devils were demolished 6-3 at the Etihad, finding themselves 4-0 down by half time.
Before this, Erik ten Hag’s team had actually won four straight Premier League games, but remain sixth in the table.
In this competition too, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag for Man United so far.
First, Real Sociedad won 1-0 at Old Trafford but, a week later, goals from Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo downed Sheriff in Chișinău.
If the Red Devils want to top the group, thereby reaching the round of 16 automatically, they need to keep winning to keep pace with La Real.
Neil Lennon’s team were hammered 3-0 by Sheriff in Nicosia, before a 2-1 defeat in San Sebastián.
Bruno Felipe had seemingly snatched a point in Spain, sparking wild celebrations, only for Real Sociedad to go straight up the other end and win it.
The Cypriot Cup winners beat Doxa Katokopias on Saturday, but are still down in fourth domestically.
Thus, an away win seems very likely at GSP Stadium.
Manchester United team news vs Omonia
Harry Maguire sat out Sunday’s derby defeat due to an injury picked up on international duty, so is unlikely to feature.
Cristiano Ronaldo remained on the bench at the weekend, but has started both Europa League games so far.
He scored in Moldova three weeks ago; prior to this season, his only UEFA Cup appearances had come for Sporting in September 2002.
Victor Lindelöf, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Martial, who scored twice off the bench at the weekend, could all come into the XI.
Donny van de Beek has played just 19 minutes so far this season and reportedly remains surplus to requirements.
